Huh, it's possible to go through, becouse propably you are in fastboot mode. Try install KFU (Kindle Fire Utility) from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

and connect KF by USB. If you are lucky - you could set bootmode to normal mode by menu.

If it wont help. you need to use CMD and drive to KFU/tools direcotry using CD command, then use:

and should KF should back to normal

update: WOW, just WOW...just wanted to let you guys know im in the process of charging the kindle and am going to have to start all over with this process. turns out, this whole fiasco had nothing to do with my wife actually doing anything wrong...besides not charging it! so basically, ive been racking my brain trying to figure this out, when this whole time, the battery was dead. ive been flashing and using utilities and driving myself nuts. doh! now hopefully i can get this thing back together the way i had it. needless to say im pretty frustrated!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zombiepiratez:
Well, that's great you figured it out. To restore it, you might want to install TWRP and flash the stock rom or do a hard reset.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mrmako777:
thanks zombie! your tool def helped me get thru this whole ordeal. since i dont use this device, i had zero clue that the battery was dead. it wasnt until i installed twrp that i could actually see a battery percentage...and it was on 1% lol. oh well, lesson learned. occams razor strikes again :o

got the drivers uninstalled, installed the "adroid adb interface" drivers (that's what came out of the sdk directory). is that the "composite" driver? i'm still getting the error: device not found when i run the main batch file and my poor little kf is still a brick.

No, the Composite driver is labeled as "ADB Composite"

I unbricked my kindle. Here is how the easy way(only works if it is stuck on triangle)

1.Download kindle fire utility

2.Unzip kindle fire utility

3.To install the driver,its easy,just plug in your kindle, when it pops up with the install wizard say pick from the location of: KindleFireUtility>drivers>kindle 4.run kindle fire utility,select 1 then select 1 again

That's it, hope it helps someone like me

it's the old exploit to root the kf - zergrush is'nt working anymore since stock rom 6.2.1 - would let kaspersky delete it ...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zombiepiratez:
Ah, yeah. I keep that in there because it could be useful for ROMs like CM7, other non-stock ROMs it might work on. And, because I am very lazy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bullonie:
I have ADB composite and it can't find the device. Basically I followed this guide first but when ADB wasn't recognized, I went to this guide and used the utility for drivers in the KF Utility program and was able to have KF Utility be usable. I accidentally pressed the option to install TWRP (I was going off of another guide and for some reason the list in the Utility program was gone) before rooting it and now I've been stuck on the logo. Sorry if this is confusing but I'm kinda pulling my hair out here over my own stupidity. I do I fix this?:confused:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Cheeseter:
Hello all, I have been trying to unbrick my sister's kindle, but I'm having an issue reinstalling drivers. For some reason I cannot point to the folder containing the drivers, Windows doesn't install it and says that Windows has determined that "Unknown Device" is the best driver software for your device.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Also, when I search for drivers, with the show compatible hardware box unchecked, there is no ADB drivers to be found.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zombiepiratez:
Try restarting your computer. Do you have the Android SDK installed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:
How do I get adb composite? My kindle fire is bricked due to my daughter unplugging during permanent root using kindle utility 0.9.4. For some odd reason during the download it gave me a eta of 4days and 2hrs for download, never seen that before? Anyways nothing downloaded and now my kindle is stuck at the stock logo. What should I do?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
use the unbrick utility

or

kfu option 1 - bootmode normal

or manually:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:
I tried Unbrick utility but it want work. KFU doesn't work either. Neither can connect to my kindle fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:
My kindle want even charge anymore. When its plugged in the kindle fire logo shows up and then disappears.....its continuous. It was not doing that earlier but now it want stop. My computer want even read it has a device because it keeps on shutting down. What do I do?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zombiepiratez:
1. Install the Android SDK

2. Restart your computer

3. Open Device Manager

4.Find your kindle, and click "Uninstall Drivers"

5. Find it again, and then install drivers as "ADB Composite"

6. Use Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility to fix it

Here's what to do: In the small flash of time that your computer sees it, type in a command prompt with ADB activated (The platform-tools directory of the SDK):

adb shell idme bootmode 4000
adb reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:
I tried kfu it didn't work so you know. It said error device not found

Thanks b63 it is charging finally. Z what do I exactly need to install on the sdk? I extracted the sdk and installed the drivers and platform tools. And then?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
this one i can't answer because i don't use the sdk at all - in my opinion and experience it is not necessary - i use kfu for the drivers and tools allthrough i don't use kfu itself because i like to do things manually

Guys i think I'm back in business. 1.I went back to the kfu utility folder 2. I clicked on run 3. I clicked on 1 boot mode menu 4. I clicked on 1 normal (4000). After doing that everything went back normal. The USB composite driver from sdk was installed and everything went back to normal

great that you got it !!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:
Thanks alot b63. My kindle is still on the kindle fire logo but now below its telling me Battery too low 18% Please wait while your kindle is charging. Does this mean it will reboot to 6.3 where I had it at first? 2nd I noticed in kfu that my tablet was back in online mode. Do I need to root it and add twrp so I can update.zip it back to factory again?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjg020683:
It rebooted fine after charge. Thank you again for all of the help
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
wait till it is charged enough like it says - should continue normally

if you don't have fff and twrp just use kfu 0.9.5 option 2

this will install fff, twrp and root

if you have troubles getting root use twrp to flash the rom mentioned later in this post

if you ever want/need to flash a new rom never use the original from amazon

because you will lose fff, twrp and root

use one of the prerooted stock roms instead:

Does anyone have a mirror of this they can post/share? I've downloaded this at least 5 times and after downloading WinZip says that it's invalid and cannot be opened. I've spent the past couple of hours Googleing a mirror with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

*EDIT*

I was finally able to get the zip opened. Not sure what was going on earlier. However I still cannot get this to unbrick the Kindle Fire. It gives me the error device not found, then says congratulations your Kindle should be unbricked. But it's not.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Zlatty:
KFUUUUU likes do do that once it times out. Try deleting your drivers for the KF and installing them from scratch. Then try to see if you can change the boot into fastboot. That will make the fastboot commends that came with the unbrick utility work.

ADB seems to work otherwise (I have installed and uninstalled and reinstalled the driver)

but still receive..

the above message.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kinfauns:
Since nobody has bothered to respond to you guys... Neither KFU nor this utility will not help you resolve the problem you two are having with your KFs. Forget both of them. Set them aside because you'll have to get your hands dirty and do most of this manually.

The system software on the KF cannot load completely. That exec error message indicates that you cannot run idme to change bootmodes. If you only have the stock bootloader installed (orange/white "kindle fire" bootlogo when it boots), you will need a factory cable or be willing to open up the back cover and get to the motherboard.

I'm guessing you guys will at least have TWRP installed on your devices, so you need to change the bootmode to recovery and get it to boot into TWRP. Once there, using Wipe -> Factory Reset will probably resolve the problems. Otherwise, you'll have to completely replace the ROM to get it to boot normally again. Remember to use a factory reset when making a significant change in the system software. To be completely safe, it's probably best to use it before every ROM flash and just rebuild it with the settings and apps you need.

One way or another, you'll have to get the device into fastboot mode, flash TWRP if necessary, change the bootmode to recovery, and boot into TWRP.

Here are some guides to help you understand what you need to do...

Read them carefully and thoroughly and you'll be able to fix your problem with the overview I provided above. For your own good, get the FFF bootloader installed as well. It will be your safety net for fixing problems in the future.

@nuclear_dawn - If you are getting "device not found" errors while using the factory cable, either you are not using the cable correctly or it's not working right. The third link above will explain how to use the cable.

:laugh:FIXED

Thanks. here are the steps I took

1. Purchased THE SKORPN JIG

2. It didn't work right away. then tried the boot comands/installing recoveries/etc. Only received errors. no luck.

3. reinstalled the drivers again (this time the drivers loaded and it said offline under KFU.)

4. attempted to installed firefirefire it failed but put my device into fastboot then eventually got to twrp.

5. wiped / factory reset

6. tried to boot into the system with no luck

7. shut power and I was able to select twrp again.

8. mounted the device sd card to windows and copied the lasted update from amazon renaming it update.zip

9. unmounted from windows, then unmounted in recovery

10. flashed the new update file.

11. selected wipe cache

12. selected boot into system

13. system started booting but appeared to be stuck

14. this time logo was animated though

15. impatiently pressed the power key. (backlight went on.)

16. waited to see if the rest of the system would boot.

17 success.

Not Exactly a brick but..

While wiping everything off of my kf so i could sell it, i accidentally wiped the rom off of it along w/ everything on the sd card. so now all i can do is boot into recovery; the simple solution would be to mount usb storage once in twrp, but my computer says device not recognized, it recognizes my brothers kindles but, now i have a device w/no operating system and (as far as i know) no way to put a new one on. Can anyone help me?

Try to reboot recovery thru adb, if that doest work, unplug your kindle, hold the power button for 20sec so it shuts of, then just repeatedly tap the power button until it goes into twrp and restore a backup
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Naww you need a factory cable that`s the only way you will fix a device with that error or firekit with the shorting trick.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
It should be noted that the factory cable itself will not fix the problem, as many people mistakenly believe. It will only put the device in fastboot, so the bootmode can be changed to recovery, in order to fix the problem.

Hello,

I'm stuck on the kindle fire logo after using KFU to install permanent root. (never got past boot screen)

I tried this and it won't recognize.

when i plug it in it says "usb not recognized" and it wont let me install the drivers.

it took me a while to get the drivers in the first place (running XP) also I have another kindle fire which IS recognized.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Edit : the answer was right in front of me the whole time. When installing the drivers uncheck the box that only lets you install compatible ones. You can then install composite adb.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

You need to manually install the drivers. Depending on where you are in the install process, it might be sort of involved, but then it might just be easy.

Right click "Computer" on your desktop and select "Manage", then on the left there will be a nav tree, click "Device Manager". When that populates, look for "Kindle", or "Amazon", or even "ADB Device" (something along those lines should be there somewhere) with a yellow triangle and right click it then choose "Update Driver". Try to let it do it automatically, but you will probably need to do it manually. If it doesn't work automatically, go back and update drivers again and this time choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)", it should pop up a window that gives you the option of "search for the best driver in these locations", try this first but click "Include this location in search" and nav to where your drivers are located (hopefully somewhere easy like your desktop or downloads folder), and then let it try. If that fails go back and choose "Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install" option and then in the list provided find the thing that looks either like a "Kindle" or "Android Device", or "ADB Transport Bridge" or something like that and choose it. This should get you recognized for the tool to works.

Some help is needed here. I'm stuck at boot logo.

After having root my KF2 and installed TWRP I've tried to install Cyanogen from TWRP. I made all wipes and tried to apply the rom, but it failed (I don't know why), so I rebooted my KF2. After that I was stuck at boot logo and I've tried Unbrick Tool, but unfortunately I clicked on "Recovery Loop" instead of "Stuck at logo".

Now my KF2 is not recognised by the system anymore. It's only recognised if I push the power button continuously in TWRP option choice screen (if I release the power button the KF2 try to start and them it become not recognised anymore). Even when I'm at TWRP option choice screen pushing power continuously in order to make the KF2 recognised by Windows (I've installed the ADB Composite manually) ADB don't recognise my device (adb kill-server -> adb devices), so I can't do anything more than cry.

Any help?
